More Lolita styles

I am very glad to announce that many people seemed interested in my other posts about Lolita fashion so I decided to continue and describe the other styles as well . Hope you all enjoy it ^^ !
I admit I am fascinated by this Japanese trend so it is a real pleasure for me to talk about it here. I am aware that not many people know about this special outfits and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask me or if I am wrong somewhere feel free to correct me.
In my earlier post I discussed the well known Gothic Lolita along with the cute Sweet Lolita, the royal Hime Lolita, the complementary pair Shiro and Kuro Lolita and last but not least Classic Lolita. Today I will mention Punk Lolita, Guro Lolita, Ero Lolita and Kodona.

Punk Lolita
In my opinion Punk Lolita is one of the most interesting styles because it combines 2 different images : being cute but looking tough and rebel as an western punk. In addition, it is also the most difficult outfit to achieve because it requires a good sense of combining pieces and colors in order to look well together or a vast knowledge about fashion.
Punk Lolita is not that different from the other styles, keeping the bell shaped skirt but excluding the bows and swirls from Sweet Lolita. The fabric and accessories are the most important, for example a good choice are the deconstructed fabrics and fishnets, but also the chains and studs. This outfit also includes the girly type skirts shorter or knee length, which can be bell shaped or not, as long as it isn't skin tight.




Guro Lolita
Guro Lolita or the broken doll as I like to call it, is meant to bring back to life those anime scenes when sweet girls fight horrible monsters and afterwards they are all dirty with blood and full of scratches, but they still look cute. This outfit can be achieved with bandages, or some blood splatters on your clothing, but not overdoing it. In my opinion the best will be to choose a white dress if you want to achieve the maximal impact. Apart from that , the make up depends on your imagination, you can always add new "injuries" or "wounds" to your outfit.







Ero Lolita
This style is very controversial due to the fact that the name "Erotic Lolita" may make people get the wrong idea out of it. This is not about being naked or showing as much skin as you can but rather being more mature and leaving behind most of the girly accessories. Furthermore, it also includes fetish elements such as tight corsets, leather, collars and fishnet stockings with extremely high heels which cannot be worn with any other Lolita style. Skirts might be a bit shorter that the other Lolitas . And the make up should stay in the same tone, a bit more elaborated and mature.






Kodona
Kodona or Ouji (prince), how they call it in Japan , represents an outfit with strong boyish influences, which can be worn both by boys and girls. However, this style has a lot of feminine touches such as platform shoes and accessories and it is mostly adopted by girls. One particular piece for this style are the "prince pants" , which are capri-style pants, usually cut off at the knee and adorned with some details (for example lace-edged cuffs). Furthermore, suspenders, ties, bowties, long socks that cover the leg make this extravagant look complete. The hair is usually kept short and those with long hair tend to wear it in a tail and hide it under a hat.

Lolita Fashion

Starting as a street wear in Japan mainly inspired by the clothing and styles of the Rococo and Victorian periods, Lolita fashion has now grown as an universally recognized trend. There are no specific rules to follow in order to be a true Lolita but the elemental ideas are to be elegant, feminine yet cute in the same time .
Now Lolita fashion is not only a fashion movement but it can also be referred to as an entire culture and some people see it as a very precious hobby (and quite an expensive one if you plan on obtaining only high quality products).
However there are so many Lolita styles that it offers everybody an opportunity , and here i am gonna present some of them :

Gothic Lolita
"A Gothic Lolita outfit like all Lolita styles, is very modest in today's standards. As with other Lolita styles a Gothic Lolita outfit can usually be recognised by the bell-shaped skirt, and puff-sleeves. A Gothic Lolita outfit is usually comprised of black or rich dark colors such as burgundy, purple and navy. It is common for this style to involve details in complementary or contrasting colors, such as the infamous black and white coordination choice."














Sweet Lolita
This can be seen as the most extravagant style of Lolita and it is all about being cute . The dresses are adorned with a lot of lace , ruffles and many bows. This is also the most child like kind of Lolita. The dominant colors are pink, white, light blue , it is usually consisted of light pastel colors . The patterns have often printed strawberries, candies, cakes, flowers, polka dots or hearts.


Hime Lolita

This style is also known as the "Princess Lolita" and it often involves miniature crowns, tiaras with extravagant hair and accessories altogether with a suitable dress . The key to this style is to look as if you are royalty , but not vulgar, so a natural make up is the perfect choice along with pearls, roses and bows that look classy but fir this style very well.















Shiro Lolita
Also called "White Lolita" it consists of a Lolita outfit made entirely of white/cream/off-white co-ordinates. Shiro Lolitas often pair themselves with Kuro Lolitas in twin outfits to create an interesting contrast. Shiro Lolita can be taken from any style of lolita, whether it be Gothic, Sweet or Classic, if the co-ordination is completely white then it is accepted as Shiro Lolita.

















Kuro Lolita
Kuro Lolita, or 'Black Lolita,' like, Shiro Lolitaais an outfit made-up of co-ordinates of one colour, in this case; black.





Classic Lolita
Unlike Sweet Lolita that is about looking cute, Classic Lolita is about looking classy, and harks back to Lolita fashion's roots in Victorian fashion, taking inspiration from the floral patterns, and the sense of elegance of the era; bold colors aren't normally found in Classic Lolita clothing.
















Wa Lolita
Easily recognised by the Kimono styled outfits, this particular lolita is very differrent from the others.Wa Lolita involves long 'sode' or, sleeves, and 'obi' or sashes that are taken from Kimono/yukata outfits, and fused with the bell-shaped skirt of lolita. Wa Lolita fabrics are often very extravagant like most Kimono fabrics, involving detailed flower prints, and cranes.
